What we repair

From a car park
scuff to a front
end rebuild

One workshop, one team, one bill. Bodywork, paint, mechanical and MOT all sit under the same roof on Exning Road — so a repair never has to leave the site, and nobody passes the blame.

Accident & collision repair

Front, rear and side impacts. Panels replaced or repaired, structural alignment checked, car handed back straight and safe.

Panel beating & alignment

Dents pulled, panel gaps reset, chassis and suspension geometry checked so doors shut and tyres wear evenly again.

Resprays & refinishing

Single panels through to full colour changes, mixed on site and oven baked for a factory-hard finish.

Bumper & plastic welding

Cracked, split or torn bumpers welded and refinished rather than replaced — a fraction of the cost of a new one.

Dent & ding removal

Paintless dent removal on trolley knocks, door dings and hail damage where the paint is still intact.

Alloy wheel refurbishment

Kerbed, corroded or peeling alloys stripped, repaired and refinished. Diamond-cut, painted or powder-coated.

Scratch, scuff & chip repair

Localised repairs on bumpers, doors and wings. Ideal before a lease return, part-exchange or private sale.

Rust treatment & welding

Sills, arches and floorpans cut back, treated and welded — including corrosion repairs to get a car through its MOT.

Glass & windscreens

Chips filled, screens replaced and side glass fitted, with camera and sensor recalibration where the car needs it.

Headlight restoration

Yellowed, hazy lenses machine-polished and re-sealed. Cheap MOT insurance and it lifts the whole front of the car.

Cat N & Cat S repairs

Salvage-category vehicles rebuilt to a proper standard — the same work we do on dealership stock every week.

Machine polish & detailing

Swirl removal, gloss enhancement and ceramic protection — the last step on every car that leaves our booth.

The repair, step by step

No mystery.
You'll know where
your car is.

Most jobs run three to five working days. You get a message at strip-down, at paint, and when it's ready — not silence for a fortnight.

Stage 01

Estimate

Send photos or drive in. We quote for the visible damage and flag anything likely to be hiding behind it.

Stage 02

Book in

Panels and paint ordered before your slot, so the car isn't sat waiting on a delivery.

Stage 03

Strip & assess

Damaged area stripped back. If it's worse underneath you hear about it before we carry on — never after.

Stage 04

Panel & prep

Panels repaired or replaced, filled, blocked flat and primed ready for colour.

Stage 05

Paint & bake

Colour mixed to your code, blended into the neighbouring panels, lacquered and oven baked.

Stage 06

Refine & hand back

Rebuilt, machine polished, road tested and valeted. We walk round it with you before you take the keys.

Paint matching

A repair you
can see is a repair
we haven't finished

Two cars off the same production line rarely wear the same shade after a few years of sun. So we don't just punch in the code and spray — we read the panel, mix to the variant, and blend outwards until the eye can't find an edge.

  • ReadPaint code taken from the VIN plate, then checked against the actual panel for fade and variant.
  • MixColour mixed on site from a manufacturer-approved scheme — solids, metallics, pearls and tri-coats.
  • Spray outTest card sprayed and compared in daylight and booth light before a drop goes near your car.
  • BlendColour faded into adjacent panels rather than stopped dead at the panel gap.
  • BakeLacquered and oven cured for a hard, chemical-resistant finish — safe to wash in a fortnight.

the handover

Swap these for your real Google reviews as they come in — a genuine review with a first name and a car beats anything written for a website.

★★★★★

Reversed into a gatepost and creased the rear quarter. Quoted Monday, in Wednesday, back Friday afternoon and I genuinely can't tell where the damage was.

Replace with a real review
★★★★★

Non-fault claim and they sorted the whole thing with the other insurer. Courtesy car the same day and it didn't cost me a penny.

Replace with a real review
★★★★★

Had the alloys refurbished and a bumper scuff done together. Fair price, kept me updated, and it came back cleaner than I left it.

Areas we cover

NewmarketExningKentfordBury St EdmundsCambridgeElySohamMildenhallHaverhillSaffron WaldenRed LodgeBurwell
How much will my repair cost?

It depends on the panel, the paint type and whether anything is damaged behind it. A bumper scuff is usually a few hundred pounds; a replaced wing blended into the door is more. Send photos and your reg and we'll give you a real figure rather than a guess.

How long will you have my car?

Most single-panel jobs are three to five working days including paint and cure time. Bigger structural repairs depend on parts availability, and we'll give you the expected date before you book in.

Do I have to use my insurer's approved garage?

No. You have the right to choose your own repairer. We'll speak to your insurer, submit the estimate and deal with their engineer on your behalf.

Will the paint match exactly?

Yes — and we blend into the surrounding panels to guarantee it. Paint fades with age, so a code-only spray can leave a visible edge. Blending is how the repair disappears.

Can I get a courtesy car?

Yes, subject to availability and to you being over 21 with a reasonably clean licence. On a non-fault claim we can usually arrange a like-for-like replacement.

Do you repair Cat N and Cat S vehicles?

We do — it's a large part of what we do. We rebuild salvage-category cars to a roadworthy, presentable standard, including stock on our own forecourt.

Is the work guaranteed?

Our paintwork carries a lifetime warranty for as long as you own the vehicle, covering defects in our workmanship. Replacement parts carry their manufacturer's warranty.

Can you collect the car?

Yes. Free collection and delivery locally, and we can recover a non-driver if the damage has taken it off the road.

How do I pay?

Card, bank transfer or cash on collection. Insurance work is settled directly with the insurer where the claim is approved.
